. @NYCMayor& #39;s relentless assault on the safety and dignity of homeless New Yorkers continued unabated last night.

At 96th Street the subway closed at 1am.

There were no outreach workers.

But there were lots of @NYPDnews.

The police cleared the station but there were no outreach or @NYCDHS workers to talk with folks as they were kicked out.

From 96th Street we went to 30th Street intake.

On Monday, Commissioner Banks said @NYCDHS would no longer force people through 30th Street for intake after they were cleared from the train.

Outreach workers would do "direct placements" instead. https://twitter.com/i/status/1259523229791793152">https://twitter.com/i/status/...

That& #39;s not what we saw.

During the short time we were @ 30th St we saw about a dozen school & mini-buses drop people off.

Kicked off of trains, placed on buses, kicked off buses & left at 30th Street intake.

What @NYCDHS officials say to the press often isn& #39;t true.

Street sweeps have intensified and become increasingly heavy-handed during the COVID-19 crisis, according to many people we& #39;ve spoken with who& #39;ve gone through them.

Waging war on street homeless folks in an effort to get them out of public view is draconian & shameful.

It& #39;s a legacy similar to that of notoriously vicious & anti-homeless NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

And, now, it& #39;s the legacy of @NYCMayor.

@NYCMayor needs to stop the draconian and paternalistic BS, and decide that the survival of homeless people is a priority.

He& #39;s not there yet and we are seeing the frightening effects of his perspective and decisions.
